#Reaction #CradleofFilth #GothicMetal
"Listen to them, the children of the night, what sweet music they make" - is a quotation from Bram Stoker's Dracula, btw.
We should have recognized that one!
And the opening quote is from The Wolfman :-)
I am a werewolf
Dusk and Her Embrace!!!
It's raw, it's brutal and it's very Iron Maideny. The drummer for queen of winter throned, Nicholas Barker is the same drummer on dusk and her embrace. It is possibly his best song as their drummer.
Nick's work is top notch. Tasty and demanding at the same time. Only in the first album do we see a less experienced Barker in action. Vempire, Dusk and Cruelty are all master level.
One of their best songs in my opinion. ✌️🤘🤘
vempire/dusk/cruelty. in this genre, nothing better, even nowadays.
queen of winter is in my top 3 fav cof songs.... you should try beneath the howling stars.
Absolutely agree... Those really are their best albums.
Speaking of reading through their lyrics and not having English as your first language, I'm Russian and while I learned English at school, I believe fanatically loving this band as a teen and reading and translating these lyrics literally with a dictionary at my had largely contributed to my fluent knowledge of English more than any textbook ever could.
Даня пишет на староангийском и у него много игры слов + мифологии + создание таких образов, о которых вы, возможно не подозреваете ... Я со школы тоже не мог переводиться но потом врубился
@@kolya_kievskiy Ну, во-первых, на древнеанглийском он не пишет. Это обычный литературный английский язык, разве что с уклоном лексики в поэтический романтизм XIX века. Но тексты насыщенные и читать их очень приятно, по крайней мере раньше было, в районе '96-'03 годов.
Just what I needed this evening with some wine: a really cool and genuine Queen of Winter, Throned reaction! Thank you, this is great!
You really need to listen to the whole Dusk and Her Embrace album. I think you'll really like the vibe of that one. It came out right after this, but is much more refined. And the title track has a riff that sounds like an evil version of the Meow Mix song lol
Yeah, _Dusk..._ , for me, remains their magnum opus, never to be equalled.
Dusk is their best!
Nice!! finally someone react to Queen of Winter, Throned. Love ur react. Next The Rape and Ruin of Angels from VEmpire album as well, Im sure you guys gonna like it.
PLEASE react to Bathory Aria! Lyrically, probably some of his best work!
Also, watch some live shows to see Dani in action lol
Lol, takes practice, kind of like learning a different language, but you can develop an ear for Dani's shrieking and growling! Still, printed lyrics help a lot!
A ghotic romance you must react to this song. One of the best songs of CoF a gorgeous and fantastic song
Awesome Reaction! Yes you are right, they are meant to be listened to for hours. Each Album is meant to be Listened to in its Entirety. Every song Compliments and bleeds into the next one. The Musicianship in every song is Amazing. Although some people may think that it sounds like messy noise, every sound is On Purpose With Purpose.
You should checkout Bathory Aria, A Theatrical Piece of Music! I'm sure Alice would really enjoy this one. Amor E Morte should also definitely make your list as well. Cant wait for your next pick, I'm enjoying watching your Journey into the Cradle of Filth Rabbit Hole!
I always forget that Sarah worked with them way back then on that album lol. I'm so glad that she's coming back to fronting a project again (Torn Between Two Worlds is the spiritual successor to her first solo project Angtoria) and I've been going through a lot of her older works like this with CoF and especially Therion, so this was fun to see and hear again even though I've only heard a live version of this since Dani's vocals were a bit dodgy in the early days lol.
The biggest difference between this early era and the other that you are familiar with on your past reactions is due to Paul Allender (guitarist). Paul composed the musical parts of CoF. His style is more melodic (ala Nymphetamine, Scorched Earth Erotica) with catchy riffs and a lead guitar harmonizing behind the vocals versus "V Empire" or "Dusk...And Her" era which are other guitarists and had more straight forward black metal guitar melodies.
Paul played in CoF for 18 years and on 9 studio albums. His guitar style/sound is easily recognizable and transfered into his former project White Empress. He is currently working on a new project, "The UnNamed Horrors" due out on Halloween this year.
Glad you guys like Cradle so much and keep up the good work! 🤘🏻
I think we would definitely like to check out his solo project when it drops. Thank you for the insight
Probably my favourite cradle of filth song ever
Sorry that this is gonna be real long and I don't know if you like reading long comments but I have a lot to say and gush about one of my favorite artists. First: not to be rude or a know it all but I see a couple comments in different videos say Sarah was the the bands first female singer. She is not. On the first album Andrea Meyers providing the female vocals. Sarah came in on this EP/album next. Also she's not the only female singer here. Sarah and Danielle shared the female singing duties. Sarah did stay for many albums and years.
This record is considered a EP but because of the length of the record you could really call this a full length album. I believe with just 6 songs this album clocks in at I wanna say 46 minutes. Many COF fans to this day call this their favorite album. And the reason theirs only 6 songs and this is called an EP Cradle of Filth weren't not happy with the record company they were with. Under contract they were obliged to give them one more record weather it be a full length album or an EP. So they RUSHED this out to get out of their contract with the company and go somewhere else. It's insane to me this was a rushed project and its this amazing. This is also why The Forest Whispers My Name is a remix or a redone from the first album.
Lastly this is the first COF I heard from them without even knowing it. In Houston we have a late night college radio channel that plays extreme metal music. By the time I tuned in this song was 4 minutes in so I caught 6 minutes of it. The DJ did not say the name of the song or band when it was over. For 6 months I was obsessed with finding out who the band or song was and I finally found out 6 months later and been a fan ever since. This is one of the most talented bands in any walks of music.
If I may thrown in two song suggestions, The Rape and Ruin of Angels and A Gothic Romance
Sorry had to come back to correct somethings I wrote. The record clocks in at 36 minutes not 46. You can still call this a full length album cause their are actual albums that are as long if not shorter lol.
Danielle stayed with the back till the Cradle to Enslave EP. So Sarah and Danielle shared female vocals on Vempire, Dusk..and Her Embrace, and Cruelty and The Beast
@@45banshee Danielle was just another name for Sarah, like so was Jared Demeter as second guitarplayer....Stuart did all guitars on this and probably even Dusk...
Fucking awesome! Finally something off of Vempire. Still need to check out and do a reaction to Rape and Ruin of Angels. In my honest opinion it tops this hands down. Promise you won't be Disappointed.
That's definitely top priority for our next CoF reaction.
@@ArsenicAndEspressoPodcast You should also check out a band called Make them Die Slowly. They are a Blackened Grindcore Band that feature's some of the members of Anaal Nathrath. Their songs are all based around various 80's horror and B movies.
Great reaction! You really should check out "Bathory Aria" by them.
I love this so much. Such nostalgia, this was one of my favourite songs back then. Thank you!
A side note, the line "vestal masturbation" was on a CoF shirt along with a nun pleasuring herself with a cross. It was featured in newspapers and such, at least here in Norway (same time as the church burnings and BM murders) where parents and politicians were on their toes when it came to these things.
Nicholas Barker is a powerhouse, man. I just love that outro!
Best era is definitely 1996-99. Vempire, Dusk and Cruelty. There's some good stuff after that, but nothing at this legendary level, imo.
I agree fully Vempire, Dusk, Cruelty is their best time period. They do have some great songs and some really good concept albums, but that time probably will not be matched.
I want Stuart Anstis back in Cradle Of Filth
Also to Note Dani Filth is Inspired by Doug Bradley(Pinhead), you can hear it very much throughout the bands early material, as well as Doug was featured on Midian.
Ah, one of the songs that got me into Cradle Of Filth in the first place. I had heard "The Forest Whispers My Name" on the local college radio station before, but hadn't heard anything else from them until I was in Germany, where someone lent me Vempire and Dusk... And Her Embrace. I was hooked immediately.
My favorite song of all time.
Love the old cradle stuff!
The only way you know the 50 songs you know you like is that you listened to them before you knew you would like them.
Doug Bradley does lots of spoken parts over several albums
All vocals are him except the female parts.. but that deep low voice he does in this song is him but he can't do that naturally. He uses a pitch shifter on his voice for it to sound that low. Now during the cruelty and the beast album he does a low voice I call the grudge sound because it sounds like the grudge. That I believe is natural with very few editing
He doesn't use a pitch shifter and does this live. Where'd you come up with that?
Well, I requested this so thanks! This was part of an EP they made to release in order to leave their record label who said they owed them one more record, so they threw this together in order to leave.
A mighty tune! Albeit, lyrically confusing, googling the words is a journey in itself haha.
Also, do be aware, there is a brilliant live version of this in Nottingham from 1998 I want to say, check it out, Dani is vocally utterly ridiculous!
Oh, and can we have some Sylosis next please? 😊
Dani Filth and Tim Burton?!?!?! How come I never thought of that?!?!?! How come no one ever thought of that before?!??!! That'd be amazing!!!!!
3 of the greatest metal songs of all time are on this album. This is the 1st of the 3. Nocturnal supremacy and Hosanis in extremis are the following 2.
This is one of my favourite cradle of filth songs. I totally agree with you guys, I don't understand 90 percent of what dani is on about. I prefer to think of his voice as another instrument adding to the music. I have seen them live numerous times. He is sounding better now than he has in 20 years! Not banshee sounding, more like a chihuahua having its testicle twisted. But he's a cool guy with a great sense of humor. With respect to the phantom of the opera, the nearest you will get is their cover of Shakespeare sisters song stay. This is one of their best covers. I would highly recommend if you like the more nymphetamine kind of sound. Great channel, glad I stumbled on ye this evening
This year I started reading through their lyrics, writing down words I don’t know and googled them. I’ve learned so much from Dani’s lyrics alone, I recommend doing that.
They do a hellacious cover of Slayer’s HELL AWAITS
Masterpiece!!!
to me honestly the best words or way your can describe Cradle Of Filth is "Beauty and the Beast"
Great idea about CoF version of Phantom of the Opera. Not sure it could be made though. As for the question in the description - i revisit their first 3 records from time to time, i think that's the best stuff they ever did. As years passed they clearly became more technical but lost in the atmosphere department. I don't know about the lyrics published as a book but there is a graphic novel made by Dani and some graphic artists.
Oh man we might need to check those graphic novels.
@@ArsenicAndEspressoPodcast Josh mentioned drumming and it is not coincidental. Nick Barker who did drums on this album is a renowned metal drummer, he worked with numerous well-known bands.
Their live performances are definitely an amazing stage show. I saw them in 2007, and it was an amazing concert. They also have a live concert dvd, which should definitely be checked out. I'm sure there are clips on RUclips, but I'm not 100%.
Also I dont comment a lot on people's videos out of anxiety but I really like what you guys say and I feel really comfortable that you guys are cool and not judgmental. So thanks! I look forward to all your stuff.
🖤🤘🖤🤘🖤
I've seen Cradle six times between 1997 and 2005, and I MUST say... each time was a jaw-dropping experience!
Also if you want to check out newer stuff by them check out Deflowering the Maiden Head Disfiguring the Goddess and Right Wing of the Garden Triptych or Heartbreak and Seance.
fun fact, Danni filth has 2 masters degrees in English literature
Yay more fun music with the fun coffee and arsenic
That was me who mentioned that Dani is close to releasing his book of poetry
Also you are spot on their albums and ep's should be listened to from start to finish
I'll see you in the next one
Yes that's right!!!! We need that book!!!
@@ArsenicAndEspressoPodcast we do..
they have a new Album dropping soon too it will be their 13th album, they have a live online concert coming up in May (if it doesn't get postponed again, damn cavid) tickets are still available, i can't wait for that
also Dani will have a role in an upcoming horror movie called Baphomet - loudwire.com/dani-filth-cast-new-horror-film-baphomet/
Probably unpopular request, but their cover of "Stay" really showcases Sarahs voice (Their first female singer) really nicely.
You two might want to check out Dimmu Borgir- Gateways live, Progenies of The Great Apocalypse live and Mourning Palace
Also liked and subbed and loved this songs drop it's deff one I would've recommended but even this one would've been at the bottom if that says anything about the quality of the ones I sent in the other comment just saying. When Dani drops the scream after the guy gives the speech is my favorite part of this song!
Sorry also don't forget one of my favorite songs too called beauty slept in sodom not super vulgar sounding a very entrancing beautifully composed song.
i listen to softer métal like therion for example,but i got this album and its the only i have,i really like 4 songs, the drummer IS perfect,the vocals were the best ,most clear, on the business. the sound IS very clear ,unlike others. this IS so good energeticly that i dont let it go since 1997 . dusk and h. embrace i dont Care but i liked 2 songs,this IS the best album from cradle this song gives me ghosebumps,the ending IS beautifull
Yo hey, if you you're into Phantom of the Opera covers, try listening to Lacrimosa's one. I can't guarantee that you'd like it because it's more in the direction of atmospheric gothic vibe, but for me personally it definitely is up there with the Nightwish cover.
Can you imagine Dani as an auctioneer?
You need to check out Butcher Babies: Monster's Ball and or Necrogobilkon: No one survives
Let’s not forget the super talent of the Band…Without their sound Vocals would be pretty bland & hollow…They set the atmosphere…The subject of Metalcore brings to mind JINGER & SPIRITBOX…
Thank you for this reaction
I agree, CoF doing Phantom Of The Opera would be great. They've explored symphonic stuff before. Dani was also in Karmaflow: The Rock Opera Videogame. If the thought of pairing Dani with Simone Simons doesn't make you drool, it should. ruclips.net/video/LbTCt57bppw/видео.html
This is the best song of Cradle of filth for me...
I think its their best song
Hail to you guys
Dani is the one and only voice is amazing it looks like demons inside him
_Hosannas in Extremis (the rape and ruin of angels)_
Check out Bathory Aria
Omg you suit black make-up you have stunning eye's really love your look. I'd admire anyone who doesn't give a fuck about convention and the so called " norm" you go girl. This era of cradle of filth you are listening to imho is their greatest incarnation of cradle and Dani.... His lyrics are beyond the average metal or rock lyrics. This is about Clive Barker's books also turned into film ( pinhead from hellraiser ) the lyrics sung beauty and the beast style IE Dani the beast and Sarah Jezebel Diva the beauty. Dani is clearly influenced by classic literature and I can see Milton, Chaucer and Shakespeare as well as many other notable writer's and no other metal lyrics are close to his in complexity and execution although iron maiden especially the time of the ancient mariner comes closet as well as hallowed be thy name which incidentally cradle have covered ( best maiden cover ever imo) this band live are truly exceptional and in the same league as Nightwish, maiden, slayer and Metallica oh and Rammstein and Slipknot .... I've met Dani load's of times as well as a lot of other members and their loads. I put a story about Dani and others in another reaction you did of cradle. Thanks for your beauty and cradles beast (reactions) and greetings from Hartlepool England 🏴 UK 🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍
By the way... Nicholas Barker fucking rules!!!
Pd. This song is amazing, in my opinion the best song of this boring band since so much time.
Nice video🤘🤘🤘
I don't know what y'all are talking about. I used phosphorent it basic conversation just yesterday.
Try cradle of filth bathory aria
its masterpiece
You need to read the greek classics and you will understand much better. Their lyrics are full of references to the greek classics.
Their lyrics are based on multiple myth cycles.
Now you owe me a week of fleshgod reactions, one more to go then I can start cleaning up my suggestion wall
😂😂😂
Still hoping for Opeth
Please make a music reaction video for the Cradle of Filth entitled The Death of love
Listen my dying bride is doom metal
My dying bride are trash.
I hate all these people bobbing their head to cradle like they feel the music I never did that listening to cradle it gave me chills and joy but never bob my head when when I saw the live 😂. In the pits almost broke my arm
Some of those lyrics are wrong btw
So you guys have missed out on the best cradle of filth stuff please please react to these songs you'll have way more connection to the flows and the Harmony's aren't as alien as most of the songs sent to you anyway hers my list man you'll know what I'm talking about when you eargasm. Start with malice through the looking Glass,then a gothic romance,dusk and her embrace,thirteen Autumn's and a widow,heaven torn asunder and last and the most delicious to the ears saffron's curse and I'm telling you you'll be like holy sh*t cradle way better than what I thought they were my black metal band stared me out on the dusk and her embrace album to learn what real innovative black metal can sound like and still have insanely beautiful epic parts I mean people think it's their best album most of those songs are from it other than thirteen Autumn's and saffron's curse but trust me I just sent like a level 666 black Jewel of their best songs to you please enjoy these songs will please both of you fully man I can't believe honestly people didn't hammer any of these home makes me sad it's their best stuff!
